Boko Haram members kill their wives as they escape from Bama

Many of the Internally Displaced Persons who fled to Maiduguri after the
town of Bama was recaptured from Boko Haram members last week have
recounted how the sect members killed their wives before they escaped
the town.
According to what they said, the militants decided to kill their wives
after getting word that troops were advancing to recapture Bama, because
they didn't want the women to remarry 'unbelievers'
According to one of the IDP's, 39 year old mother of three Sharifatu
Bakura, the sect members said they would rather kill their wives than
let them marry "unbelievers" and miss them reuniting in "Heaven".

“The terrorists said they will not allow their wives to be married to infidels,” she said

The sect members reportedly shot their wives dead.

In a related development, the troops, after taking over Bama, found a
large number of dead bodies deposited in a well in the town.
PRNigeria, quotes a security source as saying that "a large number of
dead bodies apparently of some of their hostages or those who resisted
them were discovered in wells".
